MagyarHuawei MatePad Pro 11 2024: New 5.9 mm thick tablet debuts with 120 Hz OLED and two-way satellite communication capabilities
Huawei has updated the MatePad Pro 11, nearly eighteen months after it last refreshed its iPad Pro 11 alternative. For reference, the company now refers to its 11-inch tablet as the MatePad Pro 11 2024, presumably because of its continued availability throughout next year. On the face of it, the new MatePad Pro 11 resembles last year's model, with a circular rear-facing camera housing and a punch-hole front-facing camera situated within its upper left-hand corner.
In fact, it appears that Huawei has re-used last year's camera sensors, with a 16 MP (f/2.2) front-facing camera complemented by 13 MP (f/1.8) primary and 8 MP (f/2.2) ultra-wide-angle rear-facing cameras. Likewise, the MatePad Pro 11 2024 can record videos in up to 4K at 30 FPS, which only matches its predecessor. Moreover, the new MatePad Pro 11 has an 8,300 mAh battery that supports 66 W wired charging, another unchanged feature from the MatePad Pro 11 2022.
On top of that, Huawei has installed an OLED panel that outputs at 2,560 x 1,600 pixels in a 16:10 aspect ratio with 600 nits peak brightness and a 120 Hz refresh rate. In other words, the new model may also rely upon the same display as its predecessor. Huawei does not provide any details about the chipset used this time around though, which implies that a Kirin 9000s is present, like in the Mate X5 and Mate 60 series.
Arguably, the biggest change between last year's and this year's models is the inclusion of two-way satellite connectivity, which the MatePad Pro 11 2024 achieves via the BeiDou satellite network. The tablet lacks any cellular connectivity though, with Huawei electing against offering a 5G model for the time being. Huawei's latest 5.9 mm and 449 g tablet starts at CNY 4,299 (~US$604) in China with HarmonyOS 4, 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage. Alternatively, the MatePad Pro 11 2024 is available with 512 GB of storage and the same RAM configuration for CNY 4,799 (~US$673). Huawei has not confirmed global availability yet, but it eventually brought last year's model to market outside its home market.
